Fire-Grilled Fundraisers

We go to crazy lengths to help our local communities and give back. That’s why we created Fire-Grilled Fundraisers, an opportunity for nonprofit organizations to raise funds for their cause while dining at our restaurant. Request a form to the right, and we’ll help you schedule an event, provide you with the materials to help plan and promote it, and walk you through the process. 20% of your guests' purchases during your event (before tax) go back to your cause. Now that’s what we call a crazy fundraising idea.

Contribution decisions are made at the corporate office. Please allow three to five weeks for a response. Your organization will be contacted to notify you of results. Unfortunately, if your organization is designed primarily for one of the following causes, we are unable to support your request: lobbying organizations, religious, fraternal, labor groups, political groups, individuals, families, or private foundations and for-profit organizations. Due to the overwhelming number of submissions we receive, we are unable to approve all requests.
